OSU EXTENSION FORESTRY IS Problem-solving education Research-based knowledge New ways to manage and use Oregon's forest resources wisely Increased human capacity to improve lives Who we are We're a team of Oregon State University faculty whose job is to help you. We are the link between the latest forestry knowledge and you. Our subject matter specialists on the OSU campus in Corvallis are experts in their fields. They're the first to know of new research that may help you. From offices around the state, our county agents bring this knowledge directly to you. We come from many backgrounds--woodland management, protection, marketing, business, taxation, public policy, harvesting, wood products, and manufacturing. So no matter what your question, we can help you find answers. How can we help you? No matter where you are in Oregon, we're here to help you. Our agents are located in OSU county Extension offices throughout the state. Whether you work in our forests or just visit them, we have programs for you. Woodland owners and managers You need new management tools to meet today's competing demands on forest resources. By bringing you the results of the latest research, we give you those tools--more productive, sustainable, and environmentally sound forestry practices. We offer a variety of information resources: The Woodland Workbook. A collection of practical information covering all aspects of forest management--everything from logging and reforestation to marketing. Local newsletters. Tips and information from experts in all areas of forest management. Master Woodland Manager volunteers. A resource to turn to when you need advice and answers. Field demonstrations. Results of research delivered to you. Publications. Dozens of individual titles covering topics from pest control to harvesting.

We bring you new processing technologies, marketing ideas, and tax and business information. Workshops. Practical, how-to information on marketing, processing technology, and quality and process management. Publications. Materials addressing specific wood products industries' needs. Applied research. Research focused on solving industry problems. Loggers and forest workers The face of Oregon's timber industry is changing. Our programs will help you adapt to the future. Education.

Ways to conduct efficient forest operations that contribute to an improved environment. General public, educators, youth As Oregon's population grows and becomes more urban, competing demands on our forest resources increase. At the same time, fewer people have direct ties to our natural resources. Citizens and public policy makers need to be able to sort out the many facts, myths, values, and unknowns surrounding our forests. Our educational programs help you do just that. Radio programs. A pilot program using low power radio technology speaks to motorists as they travel through our forests. Public issues education. Education for improved action and decisions about forest policy issues. How to reach us Stop by the OSU Extension office in your county.
